This delightful little house was perfect for our stay! We attended a show at the beautiful Warner Theatre (which I highly recommend) and the location was convenient to the venue and anything else you want to do in Erie. The house was the cleanest and freshest of any vrbo we have booked ( and we book a lot of them ). Very comfortable with everything you need. Great updated bathroom and shower and even a washer and dryer. At our age it's nice to have a first floor bedroom option too. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and access was easy with the horseshoe driveway. The host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!!

Good place to stay for a fishing trip

Close to the bay with an adequate driveway for 2 boats. Also felt safe leaving our gear out all night. The house was good for what we needed, slept 4 comfortably and big back porch. Inside was clean and tidy but outside needed a little attention. No big deal

Cleanest I've ever stayed in

This house is charming and spectacularly clean. The water pressure was great. Of course, I love the red refrigerator! There is a large selection of good coffee available that we enjoyed. Rt.79 is easy to exit from and enter, and it's easy to get to anywhere in Erie that you want to from this location. The mall with lots of shops and restaurants is one exit away on 79 if you like/need to do that. We enjoyed our stay and will book here should we visit Erie again.

My family really enjoyed the convenience of this house to neighborhood parks and the local ice cream shop, Maria's! The house was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was very responsive and helpful when the wifi went out the one day. Presque Isle State Park is beautiful and we enjoyed splashing in the water with our dog. When we brought him back to the house we were pleased to find a hose so we could give him a bath before going inside. The yard was nice and quiet to sit in during the evenings. Overall a wonderful stay, we would return.

Great Lake Escape

Planned a quick getaway to celebrate our daughters graduation. Everything was wonderful and the home was by far the cleanest we’ve stayed in. This rental had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay with pleasant additions such as coffee and tea. The convenient location allowed quick access to all our favorite areas, eliminating unnecessary travel time. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the quiet patio and our furbaby loved playing in the backyard. The owner, Ted, was courteous and helpful, providing an easy check-in/check-out process and very responsive to questions. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Location

This was the perfect house for our family of 5 while we attended a sports tournament in Erie. From the beginning Ted was great at communicating and keeping us informed before our stay. He was very responsive during the stay and he and his wife have everything you need as far as amenities. Coffee bar was fantastic! Bedroom layouts were just what we needed and his place is very clean, modern, and you just feel at home. You are on a busy road so traffic can be a little loud but sound/white noise machines we brought did the trick and you couldn’t really hear it. Back porch is really cozy and a nice grill if you want to cook out. This place has everything and I highly recommend if coming to Erie to enjoy the city, lake, or whatever brought you here. Ted’s place is the one to rent!! Jeff

Found a critter in our bed

We were supposed to have an early check-in, but there were some issues Where it put them a little bit behind. We got there late., Unloaded our vehicle, then my husband wanted to take a half hour nap before our evening, so he pulled the sheet down in the downstairs bedroom and found a Live bug. I am not quite sure what kind of bug it was, however, I knew that we just could not stay there.. We did not get a chance to check the other beds nor did we get a chance to Look at this bed to see if there were any more. The host told us that it was one bug and that Basically, he would not refund us. I don’t know about you, but I would never tell my husband or child, nor myself to lay my head down on a pillow where I found a bug, especially not knowing what it was. It’s not like a hotel where they could just give you another room to stay in. This was my first experience with Vrbo and unfortunately this has ruined us so we probably will not be back. We were only there for 20 minutes and then we drove around Erie looking for a place to stay. Very frustrating and disappointing.
